Om Puri accused of domestic violence by wife Nandita

A case has been filed against veteran actor Om Puri. He
was charged with domestic violence by his wife Nandita Puri. Nandita has lodged
a complaint against her husband at the Versova police station in which the actor
has been charged with domestic violence. Nandita and Om Puri has been married for
the past twenty years.

Om
Puri was booked under sections 324, 504 and 506. Troubled in their marital life
roared up in the past but it was assumed that things settled between them. The
couple with their son Ishaan also went for a holiday recently.

NDTV
senior journalist Barkha Dutt tweeted about the case, saying, “So Om Puri, who
once bizarrely made up a husband for me who runs a japanese cafe in Canada ( dont
ask) charged with domestic violence”.

The
actor who was charged with domestic violence ironically commented on the recent
gang-rape case in Mumbai, saying, “Stringent punishment should be there so that
people are afraid of the law. Nobody is afraid of the law because it is not
effective, it takes so much of time.”

Troubled in their paradise started when Nandita Puri wrote a
book on her husband, titled 'Unlikely Hero: The Story Of Om Puri' where the struggle, journey and
actor’s experience was narrated. It was heard then Om Puri was not happy with the book.

Om
Puri, who is an alumnus of the National School of Drama and the Film and
Television Institute of India, was honored with Padma Shri, India's
fourth-highest civilian award for his excellence in the field of acting.

The actor was recently seen in films like ‘Dabangg’, ‘Kurbaan’, ‘Chakravyuh’,
‘West Is West’ and ‘The Reluctant
Fundamentalist’.

Om Puri was earlier married to Seema Kapoor. He divorced Seema and later tied the
knot with Nandita
